At Walmart.

Good thing I went to the Walmart that was further away so just in case someone I know didn't see me sit my kid down on the floor in the babyfood section with directions not to move until he could quit screaming.

(ps- if you were there and heard my screamer I *think* this technique might not work. Yes, he still screamed through the produce section. I realized he wanted a donut in the bakery and that fixed all the problems. I'm not a fan of walmart or screamers so today was a perfect day.)

Okay stop being so crafty. You're making us all look bad. You need to open up your own little botique. I love seeing what you come up with next. Mississippi huh? Anywhere close to Memphis?

Oh, I love those kind of shopping trips. Before I was a mommy I would hear those kids screaming and think that their mom should take some control- hahaha! Now I just feel sorry for the mommy... been there!

I have so been there. Nothing was worse than being asked to leave the library due to Izzy's screaming. Ahhhh kids!

I've had those moments too. I've even had to leave some well-stocked carts behind at Wal-Mart. That's why I only go every two weeks and I take Brett with me! I'm a wimp with four kids. - Kristine
